The PE buy-up of these core local businesses isn't great for society generally, service delivery and the existence of a middle class.
The other thing I feel gov should do is force a separation of distributors and point of sale, with rules that allow smaller business to buy at the same pricing as larger.
People seem to forget a key requirement of capitalism is for government to create a level playing field for business. I cant see a better way to do this, and I suspect it would be very beneficial to the bulk of society if gov made some changes down this line.
